So, here I am on the first Monday of summer after exams and determined that by this time next year, I WILL be able to wear that bikini! I am hoping that MFP will be the avenue that leads me to that glorious moment, but I think I'm going to need supporting cast before I go anywhere near center stage. I am looking forward to meeting all of you, and I truly hope that you'll help me to shed these pesky pounds and that I can also help support you during your journey. I am in for the long haul here; I am well aware that this will require a rather dramatic lifestyle change on my part, but with a little help, I hope I can make this one milestone in a success story.

    Hi,
    I just joined too. I love the idea of a supporting cast. I'm really sick of constantly thinking about food, convincing myself i will do better tomorrow, do it for a bit then sink back into terrible habits. I'm ready to show my two little girls how to be healthy and sane. So, I joined CrossFit, and survived the first week, and I'm looking to this site for support and accountability.
    Welcome and let's keep up the good work!

    Feel free to add me! My only advice as of right now is that it doesn't have to be a *drastic* change. Trying to change everything all at once can be very overwhelming! Try working on a few smaller, achievable goals at a time and work your way up. When I make losing weight such a big sacrifice, I end up wanting to quit! However, gradual changes over an extended amount of time can really make a big difference!

    i need some accountability partners as well...i just joined on the first of may..Tomarrow will be a week in for me. I am doing great. I am exercising 14 min and 30 seconds a day with yourself fitness. i am over 400+ pounds...and i have a long ways to go with a 5'2 figure. But i am very determined right now..its getting harder though for being on it a week. the cravings are comming back a little but i really dont want to give in...i am doing to good. I am staying at under a 1800 calorie diet...and i plan on seeing a dietician weekly once i see her for the first interview. please keep me accountable...thanks so much.

    Would love some accountability friends - only 1 week on for me, but determined to make better choices. It's definitely not easy doing it alone!

    Please add me too!! I'm on the same path! I will eventually get a picture up :) I started this about a month ago but it took me several weeks to actually START. I definitely need an accountability buddy!:smile:

    Hi! I was responding to another post and saw yours. I have the same habit of falling off the wagon. Its a constant issue for me. I have 3 little ones that I'm trying to be a better role model for. I'd love to start working with you as an accountability buddy if you're okay with it!

    I just started here but I have a picture coming soon!

    Me too!

    I so much need some accountability. I'm doing Jillian's 30 day shred, and I wanna quit so bad. Maybe if I have some people to kick my butt for me, I'll stick with it :)
